Founded by architect, Danica Garizio.

Danica is a registered architect with over twelve years of experience delivering complex residential and hospitality projects across Australia and the Middle East. Her career has been shaped by a belief that architecture should simplify life rather than complicate it. Throughout every stage of a project — from early feasibility and concept design through planning approvals, consultant coordination and construction — she is known for bringing clarity to complex decisions while protecting the integrity of the design.

Prior to founding Studio Garizio, Danica spent more than a decade at one of Australia's leading residential architecture practices, where she progressed into a leadership role delivering award-winning homes. Her experience spans large-scale private residences, multi-residential developments and international projects, working closely with clients, consultants and builders to deliver highly resolved outcomes.

Today, she continues to work directly with every Studio Garizio client, providing a highly personalised service where thoughtful design is supported by clear communication, careful coordination and genuine attention to detail.

About Studio Garizio.

Studio Garizio is an architecture and interior design practice based on the Gold Coast, working throughout Australia and internationally.

Founded on the belief that thoughtful architecture begins with thoughtful relationships, the studio delivers carefully considered homes and spaces that balance clarity and emotional intelligence. Every project is approached with the understanding that architecture is more than form or appearance. It is about creating environments that feel intuitive to live in, respond to the way people move through their daily lives and remain relevant for decades to come.

Rather than pursuing a high-volume model, Studio Garizio intentionally works on a limited number of projects at any one time. This allows each client to work directly with the Danica from concept through completion, ensuring consistency, accountability and a deeply collaborative design process.

Studio Garizio believes that the best architecture rarely demands attention. Instead, it quietly improves everyday life through considered decisions, enduring craftsmanship and spaces that continue to reveal themselves over time.
